:02:02. > :02:02.he's now paying courtesy calls on Capitol Hill

:02:58. > :03:02.My colleague, Laura Trevelyan, is in Washington.
:03:03. > :03:11.Here is what extraordinary about all of this, it seems like Mr Gorsuch
:03:12. > :03:14.went into this meeting, made these criticisms and said, can you tell
:03:15. > :03:19.the world about this? Remember that he wants to be
:03:20. > :03:24.confirmed as a Supreme Court justice and by saying that he doesn't like
:03:25. > :03:29.the President's attack on the independent judiciary, it makes him
:03:30. > :03:33.a good nominee for the highest court of the land in the eyes of fellow
:03:34. > :03:38.judges, in the eyes of most right-thinking people, and for him,
:03:39. > :03:42.hopefully, he's trying to persuade Democrats not to filibuster him out
:03:43. > :03:47.of existence. The Democrats are mad, they want to stop at least one of
:03:48. > :03:55.President Trump's nominations. All very complex.
:03:56. > :03:59.Some Republicans and some Democrats particularly would think, this is a
:04:00. > :04:04.man who knows his own mind, who can speak freely, which is what they
:04:05. > :04:12.want. Of course. There is nothing else that Gorsuch could say, faced
:04:13. > :04:14.with the President attacking the independence of the judiciary, not
:04:15. > :04:22.only district Court judges but the bedrock appeals judges, who could
:04:23. > :04:26.rule on his devotional immigration ban. So this is exactly what he had
:04:27. > :04:29.to say. Also to reassure Republicans as well that he is not just a tool
:04:30. > :04:35.of the President. The fact is that President Trump might not like him
:04:36. > :04:41.as much as when he nominated him. Falling out with the boss already!
:04:42. > :04:44.These executive orders as well, things have been happening in the
:04:45. > :04:47.White House other than just being said. What are these crime orders
:04:48. > :04:53.about? President rubbing his inauguration speech painted a
:04:54. > :04:58.picture of American carnage, not just manufacturing jobs shouted
:04:59. > :05:01.across the rust belt, but also an image of America in the grip of
:05:02. > :05:05.violent crime. He signed three different executive orders, one
:05:06. > :05:11.cracks down on drug cartels, which are spreading across the country, he
:05:12. > :05:16.says, and the other one sets up a task force on how to reduce violent
:05:17. > :05:21.crime. He says it is going to be a new era of justice. Although violent
:05:22. > :05:26.crime has gone up in a couple assist these -- a couple of cities,
:05:27. > :05:28.overall, violent crime levels are lower than they were were at the
:05:29. > :05:33.high point in the 1980s. Thank you. Actually, Mr Trump's been
:05:34. > :05:35.busy today on Twitter. Apart from the issue
:05:36. > :05:36.of Judge Gorsuch, he's also attacked Republican
:05:37. > :05:39.Senator John McCain, who had questioned the success
:05:40. > :05:59.of last week's raid in Yemen, He had said that he could not see
:06:00. > :06:02.how the downing of an aircraft and the death of a serviceman as a
:06:03. > :06:04.success. This row has been going on. This is that we'd we got today from
:06:05. > :06:35.the President. It is a 3-part tweet. So the president doesn't want this
:06:36. > :06:40.to be painted in anyway as a failure.
:06:41. > :06:43.No, and Sean Spicer, his spokesperson has a ready said that
:06:44. > :06:49.anyone who does suggest this is failure is denigrating the memory of
:06:50. > :06:54.that serviceman. That begs a question how Donald Trump, all
:06:55. > :06:59.through the political campaign, can attack the war in Iraq, where 4000
:07:00. > :07:02.servicemen were killed. It doesn't quite make total sense. He has got
:07:03. > :07:07.to be careful about John McKay. Donald Trump only has a two seat
:07:08. > :07:12.majority in the Senate. If he annoys John McCain too much, at some point
:07:13. > :07:15.the senator is going to turn around and say, I will not stick with you
:07:16. > :07:17.any more, and that could be a big problem down the road for Donald
:07:18. > :07:18.Trump! And not just on its opinion
:07:19. > :07:22.of the President Yes, but for all the controversy
:07:23. > :07:26.that's followed Mr Trump these first three weeks,
:07:27. > :07:28.his approval ratings are higher than they were at the time
:07:29. > :07:30.of the inauguration. Just under 50% now approve
:07:31. > :07:37.of the job he is doing. And, according to another poll out
:07:38. > :07:39.yesterday, the majority of Americans think Donald Trump's travel ban
:07:40. > :07:43.is a good thing. And many certainly feel that way
:07:44. > :07:46.in the Republican state of Montana. Aleem Maqbool has
:07:47. > :07:50.been to investigate. I believe that what we've
:07:51. > :07:53.seen with our President This is a man who
:07:54. > :08:00.couldn't be happier. He is heavily involved in local
:08:01. > :08:08.politics, and he's a preacher. His Christian compassion, though,
:08:09. > :08:11.does not extend to those he feels If they come among us
:08:12. > :08:20.and then try to enact If groups of radical Islamic people
:08:21. > :08:31.begin to show up who will eventually attempt to harm how women,
:08:32. > :08:37.those militant people need to understand that the women
:08:38. > :08:45.of Montana are armed. He says those who are protesting
:08:46. > :08:47.against Donald Trump's immigration policies do not represent
:08:48. > :08:52.the real America. This is a local rally
:08:53. > :08:56.in support of the refugees. Not a bad turnout for a weekday
:08:57. > :09:00.lunchtime in the snow. But these are certainly not
:09:01. > :09:03.the loudest voices on this issue The state has one of the most
:09:04. > :09:10.high-profile anti-immigrant campaigns and, before the election,
:09:11. > :09:13.had one of the biggest anti-refugee The anger for many is directed
:09:14. > :09:23.mainly at Muslims, something local
:09:24. > :09:26.politicians are tapping into - After days of debate,
:09:27. > :09:32.the state Senate has just passed a bill to say Sharia law
:09:33. > :09:40.can't be applied in Montana. This woman and her family arrived
:09:41. > :09:44.here just a couple of months ago. They fled Eritrea with no choice
:09:45. > :09:54.about where the UN sent them. After more than four years
:09:55. > :09:56.of vetting, they landed in Montana - nervous, shy about
:09:57. > :09:58.talking on camera, and to this storm
:09:59. > :10:03.of anti-immigrant sentiment. What's striking in Montana
:10:04. > :10:06.is all the focus on immigration is happening in an entire state
:10:07. > :10:10.the size of Germany with a population of just 1 million,
:10:11. > :10:14.where fewer than 20 refugee families have been resettled
:10:15. > :10:19.since the mid-90s. But as far as many here
:10:20. > :10:23.and across America are concerned, there is simply no room
:10:24. > :10:26.for the immigrants, to whom the door
:10:27. > :10:44.should be firmly shut. And those statistics interesting?
:10:45. > :10:48.Just 20 refugees and migrants since 1990. I watch that earlier and there
:10:49. > :10:52.are similarities with what happened here during the referendum vote, the
:10:53. > :10:57.Brexit vote, last year. There were parts of the country where there was
:10:58. > :11:04.high net migration that voted to remain in the EU, and vice versa.
:11:05. > :11:07.Areas with low net migration where they voted to leave to stop
:11:08. > :11:11.Hartlepool in the north of the country was a place like that, low
:11:12. > :11:15.net migration, can be Ireland another. It seemed to be the theory
:11:16. > :11:22.of migration or the concern about migration, and that they -- that
:11:23. > :11:26.might be well founded there might be problem is with jobs. It was the
:11:27. > :11:29.fear of migration rather than the direct impact.
:11:30. > :11:33.Maybe once you know immigrants come you feel differently about migration
:11:34. > :11:42.in general. Because this is such a big issue at the ballot box,
:11:43. > :11:51.countries all over the world are speaking out on it. In Germany,
:11:52. > :11:55.there were plans to speed up the deportation of failed asylum
:11:56. > :12:02.seekers. Here, the cupboard has been
:12:03. > :12:12.defending its cap on the number of refugee children coming into this
:12:13. > :12:17.country. Only 350 children would be brought in, far fewer than the 3000
:12:18. > :12:19.that were originally asked for. There are still so many
:12:20. > :12:22.children in need of help. She knows there are thousands
:12:23. > :12:23.in Greece, in overcrowded
:12:24. > :12:25.accommodation, or homeless. Or in Italy, still at risk
:12:26. > :12:27.of human trafficking. Or teenagers in French centres
:12:28. > :12:29.which are being closed down, They are heading back to Calais,
:12:30. > :12:36.back to Dunkirk, back to the mud, back to the danger, back into
:12:37. > :12:39.the arms of the people traffickers and the smugglers,
:12:40. > :12:41.the exploitation, the abuse, the prostitution rings,
:12:42. > :12:44.and back into the modern slavery that this parliament and this
:12:45. > :12:49.government has pledged to end. The French are very clear
:12:50. > :12:54.that they are now processing the children who have come out
:12:55. > :12:56.of the Calais camp. But one of the things that stops
:12:57. > :13:00.the children cooperating with the French authorities
:13:01. > :13:03.is the hope of being taken into the Dubs Amendment
:13:04. > :13:06.and coming to the UK. They are clear with us that
:13:07. > :13:09.if they are to manage those children which I think is what she wants,
:13:10. > :13:14.as well as I want - then making it clear that that is
:13:15. > :13:27.not going to be definitely open Strong statements. This has been a
:13:28. > :13:31.big issue in Britain, with child migrants coming in. It is not an
:13:32. > :13:35.issue here in terms of Muslims coming in, or people coming in from
:13:36. > :13:38.the Middle East. The geography of America means they would have to get
:13:39. > :13:43.on a plane by themselves. You don't get a lot of children coming in. We
:13:44. > :13:46.have had children coming across the southern border full to view had a
:13:47. > :13:49.load of teenagers and young kids picked up, coming in from Mexico,
:13:50. > :13:57.put into camps. That was something that double trap made an issue.
:13:58. > :14:01.It has been a situation here with the cab and Calais, right on the
:14:02. > :14:05.doorstep. The Government have been making a strong point today that it
:14:06. > :14:08.pays more than other countries in Europe to the problem in the Middle
:14:09. > :14:14.East, over ?2 billion. They said today they have offered places to
:14:15. > :14:19.8000 children to come in some form. The problem they have got, and this
:14:20. > :14:26.is what some of the politicians were pointing out today, is there is real
:14:27. > :14:31.stress and local authorities. Their heart -- thereon 250 local
:14:32. > :14:39.authorities with responsibilities for these, they have offered barely
:14:40. > :14:42.two places each. They will put more pressure on local government to do
:14:43. > :14:52.more to take some of the children in.
:14:53. > :14:55.You can imagine what the reaction might be if Donald Trump had
:14:56. > :14:57.announced something like a cap on child refugees!
:14:58. > :14:59.Donald Trump's controversial nominee for Attorney General, Jeff Sessions,
:15:00. > :15:01.was confirmed by the Senate last night.
:15:02. > :15:03.And, earlier, he was sworn-in at the White House.
:15:04. > :15:09.with just one Democrat voting for Mr Sessions.
:15:10. > :15:11.It came after a series of divisive hearings
:15:12. > :15:29.focusing on the Alabama senator's record on civil rights.
:15:30. > :15:32.has sent condolences after a Russian air strike
:15:33. > :15:34.accidentally killed three Turkish soldiers in northern Syria.
:15:35. > :15:36.The soldiers were supporting Syrian rebels in efforts to capture
:15:37. > :15:38.the city of al-Bab from so-called Islamic State.
:15:39. > :15:41.Although Russia and Turkey back opposing sides in the war,
:15:42. > :15:51.the incident comes after a warming of ties between the two countries.
:15:52. > :15:56.I think the snowstorm has defeated us for a moment, and you may have
:15:57. > :16:03.lost the beautiful view behind me! Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
:16:04. > :16:05.is in Washington tomorrow to meet the President
:16:06. > :16:08.to discuss security and trade before heading off to play
:16:09. > :16:10.golf with Donald Trump at his resort in Palm Beach,
:16:11. > :16:12.Florida, over the weekend. It is, of course, a key
:16:13. > :16:14.strategic relationship - in fact, Mr Abe was an early
:16:15. > :16:17.visitor to Trump Tower but President Trump did attack Japan
:16:18. > :16:21.during the election campaign for "making it impossible"
:16:22. > :16:24.for the US to sell cars there. Our Tokyo correspondent,
:16:25. > :16:28.Rupert Wingfield Hayes, has been taking a look at
:16:29. > :16:34.whether his claim is entirely fair. President Donald Trump
:16:35. > :16:36.says it's not fair that Americans buy millions
:16:37. > :16:38.of Japanese cars every year, and the Japanese buy
:16:39. > :16:43.hardly any American cars. Last year, only 13,000 American cars
:16:44. > :16:50.were sold here in Japan. So why is it the Japanese don't buy
:16:51. > :17:17.American cars like this one? It's not just that this car is
:17:18. > :17:22."yuge", as Donald Trump might say - you may have noticed that the wheel
:17:23. > :17:25.is on the wrong side for Japan, and then take a look
:17:26. > :17:28.at the fuel consumption. It's about double what my
:17:29. > :17:39.Toyota normally uses. So, in Japan, these tiny little cars
:17:40. > :17:41.are called Kei cars. They can't be
:17:42. > :17:45.more than 1.5 metres wide, and the engine can only be 660cc,
:17:46. > :17:50.and they sell tonnes of them here - 1.7 million of them last year,
:17:51. > :17:59.40% of all the cars sold in Japan. It's actually not true that Japanese
:18:00. > :18:09.people don't buy foreign cars. Of course, they're not
:18:10. > :18:31.American cars, they're German. And I understand you have actually
:18:32. > :18:39.owned an American car? I liked how it looked
:18:40. > :18:51.but when I started driving it, I feel like it's very cheap,
:18:52. > :18:57.and doesn't feel safe. Also, the service is not so good
:18:58. > :19:03.as with the German car. Japan charges no import
:19:04. > :19:06.tax on a car like this, but America charges up to 25%
:19:07. > :19:12.import tax on Japanese cars. So maybe it's time for America
:19:13. > :19:14.to stop complaining Let's get more now
:19:15. > :19:22.with Sheila Smith, an expert on Japanese
:19:23. > :19:32.politics and foreign policy. Good to see you. The Americans don't
:19:33. > :19:38.make cars for Japanese people, really? Exactly. I loved your
:19:39. > :19:42.segment, by the way. What are they going to do about it? This is what
:19:43. > :19:50.is called global competition, isn't it? Right, and the challenge has
:19:51. > :19:54.always been that the American car-makers have to invest in making
:19:55. > :20:00.cars that the Japanese consumers will want to buy. There has been a
:20:01. > :20:04.long narrative of turf barriers in Japan, but you have to compete. That
:20:05. > :20:11.is really what the challenge for our companies is in Japan. But Japanese
:20:12. > :20:15.car companies to provide jobs for Americans, a lot of them. When the
:20:16. > :20:19.president had all of those car workers into the Oval Office last
:20:20. > :20:22.week, it was noticeable that he did not have Toyota in with him. It
:20:23. > :20:31.seems that the Japanese cannot go win in this relationship, another
:20:32. > :20:35.sign that the balance of power is shifting to China not America. They
:20:36. > :20:41.have a friend in the White House? We will have to see. The president is
:20:42. > :20:48.coming tomorrow. -- the Prime Minister is coming tomorrow. They
:20:49. > :20:51.will be on the relaxed setting of a golf course on Saturday, when I can
:20:52. > :20:57.talk about what has changed in the structure of both of their
:20:58. > :21:05.economies. Toyota, Nissan, Honda, lots of Japanese car-makers have
:21:06. > :21:09.invested in the United States. They are part and parcel of the American
:21:10. > :21:14.economy. It is partly what Mr Trump has to understand as he begins to
:21:15. > :21:18.think about how to talk to Japan about the future of our economic
:21:19. > :21:22.partnership. Just a quick one, because we are out of time, but we
:21:23. > :21:29.hear that Justin Trudeau is coming from Canada on Monday. Mr Trump's
:21:30. > :21:35.supporters say they have got a lot of people on the one at the moment,
:21:36. > :21:42.they are making efforts to make sure the deals are being done. They are
:21:43. > :21:47.close allies with the United States, as well as economic partners. Mr
:21:48. > :21:52.Trudeau said he would be willing to renegotiate the trade deal. There is
:21:53. > :21:58.a lot of support for that on Capitol Hill. We will have to watch that of
:21:59. > :22:02.negotiations to understand what Washington once, and I expect the
:22:03. > :22:04.Japanese will be watching as well. OK, thank you for being with us.
:22:05. > :22:06.The street protests in Romania this past week
:22:07. > :22:09.the last days of the tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu.
:22:10. > :22:13.the Romanians have packed the streets of the capital, Bucharest,
:22:14. > :22:15.demanding the government throws out a law
:22:16. > :22:18.that would have reduced penalties for corruption.
:22:19. > :22:20.One immediate beneficiary of that law would have been
:22:21. > :22:22.the chair of the governing Socialist Democratic Party,
:22:23. > :22:28.that would stop him becoming a future Prime Minister.
:22:29. > :22:31.Now the man who drew up the decree, the Justice Minister,
:22:32. > :22:33.has resigned and the bill looks set to be rescinded.
:22:34. > :22:41.Let's speak to the BBC's Nick Thorpe in Bucharest.
:22:42. > :22:50.We see more people behind you, so they are not giving up, are they?
:22:51. > :22:55.That's right. I'm standing in Victoria Square he in front of the
:22:56. > :23:01.Government building. If I haven't lost count already, the tenth
:23:02. > :23:04.consecutive day of protests. They began with the attempt by the
:23:05. > :23:09.incoming social Democrat led government to pass a controversial
:23:10. > :23:12.decree. The road testers came out on the streets because they said that
:23:13. > :23:17.would have changed three paragraphs of the penal code in Romania and
:23:18. > :23:23.would have weakened the anti-corruption fight here in
:23:24. > :23:27.Rumania. It is a country that is perhaps often unfairly seen as a
:23:28. > :23:31.corrupt country. It has a very tough anti-corruption directorate, an

:25:28. > :25:30.taking a big step towards the White House -
:25:31. > :25:33.what do his supporters think of the job Mr Trump is doing now?
:25:34. > :25:36.And have you noticed anything "Trumpish"
:25:37. > :25:39.Is what we're hearing from politicians here

:25:44. > :26:05.That's still to come on 100 Days, from BBC News.
:26:06. > :26:11.Good evening. What a difference a Day makes. Yesterday, we had some
:26:12. > :26:17.blue skies, sunshine and warmth across the western half of the UK,
:26:18. > :26:26.with double figures. Disappointing on the East Coast. Asa Miller story
:26:27. > :26:30.today. It has felt noticeably colder on the West Coast, with a high of
:26:31. > :26:38.four Celsius. A lot of cloud across the UK. Temperatures struggled to
:26:39. > :26:44.climb up above 1 degrees. That cold feel will continue overnight. The
:26:45. > :26:50.risk of some showers, rain and sleet on the coast. With any height, it
:26:51. > :26:52.will be sleet and snow. A cold night with temperatures just below
:26:53. > :26:57.freezing, a frost is likely to start our day on Friday. Still the risk of
:26:58. > :27:02.some showers and the East, and that will continue. A lot of cloud around
:27:03. > :27:06.on Friday. The best of any brightness is really across western
:27:07. > :27:09.fringes, and up into Scotland. By the middle of the afternoon, some
:27:10. > :27:14.glances of sunshine in Cornwall. It will not be warm, and certainly more
:27:15. > :27:18.in the way of cloud generally across England and Wales. It part of East
:27:19. > :27:24.Anglia and ligature, some showers and temperatures struggling to climb
:27:25. > :27:26.above one of 2 degrees. Out of the Isle of Man, Lake District, Northern
:27:27. > :27:30.Ireland and Scotland, we may continue to see some windows of
:27:31. > :27:34.sunshine. Still chilly and a scattering of showers to the far
:27:35. > :27:37.north-east. Those clear skies will allow the temperatures to form a
:27:38. > :27:42.baby be sharply overnight, down from those of minus ten. At the same
:27:43. > :27:48.time, more organised show drifting in. These are of sleet and snow,
:27:49. > :27:59.which could lead to a Kim Lee laces of sleet -- accumulations on higher
:28:00. > :28:05.ground. A cold day generally on Saturday. Sunday, a different day,
:28:06. > :28:08.the same old story. A lot of cloud, still the easterly breeze with a
:28:09. > :28:12.scattering of showers. Temperatures may be just a degree or so higher,
:28:13. > :28:16.between four and 6 degrees. Still pretty chilly. There are signs of
:28:17. > :28:22.something starting to change as we move into next week, but this area
:28:23. > :28:24.of low pressure moves in. The isobars will be squeezing, but
:28:25. > :30:04.perhaps a little less cold. Donald Trump's own pick
:30:05. > :30:11.for the Supreme Court criticises him Senators say Neil Gorsuch spoke
:30:12. > :30:14.to them about his concern over A year ago today, Donald Trump
:30:15. > :30:22.won a crucial victory What do voters there
:30:23. > :30:34.make of him now? Today marks one year
:30:35. > :30:36.since Donald Trump's overwhelming victory in the New Hampshire
:30:37. > :30:39.Primary. It was his first major step
:30:40. > :30:42.towards the White House. And although Hillary Clinton ended
:30:43. > :30:45.up winning the state in November, enthusiasm for Trump
:30:46. > :30:49.still runs deep. Rajini Vaidyanathan went back
:30:50. > :30:51.to the granite state, where the motto is "Live Free
:30:52. > :30:54.or Die", to ask voters what they thought of candidate Trump
:30:55. > :31:09.then, and what they make Just like the person he voted for
:31:10. > :31:16.McKeith is a businessman who works in the hotel industry. The owner of
:31:17. > :31:23.a small construction company, he is a registered independent, so doesn't
:31:24. > :31:27.vote along party lines. If you were just a politician, I wouldn't have
:31:28. > :31:31.voted for him. He connected with the New Hampshire people, because of the
:31:32. > :31:37.spirit of independence that they have. Donald Trump's dreams of
:31:38. > :31:41.becoming President were built on his first victory in the Republican
:31:42. > :31:45.primary in this state. Now he's in office, Keith has no complaints.
:31:46. > :31:51.Have I disagreed with anything that he's done thus far? No. Is he doing
:31:52. > :31:55.a good job? Yes, I think he's doing exactly what we elected him to do.
:31:56. > :32:02.How many of you voted for Donald Trump in the New Hampshire primary?
:32:03. > :32:06.None of us did. By election day, all but one of these Republican women
:32:07. > :32:10.voted for Donald Trump. Everyone here agrees the President should be
:32:11. > :32:15.given a chance, but there are divisions over policy, like his
:32:16. > :32:18.temporary travel ban. Right now it's a 90 day ban. All the demonstrators
:32:19. > :32:23.and the women's walk and everything else they are doing, they are doing
:32:24. > :32:27.things before anything happened. There wasn't enough thought to the
:32:28. > :32:31.roll-out of that executive order and how it was going to affect people.
:32:32. > :32:36.Sometimes he does come across as cross and I think everyone of us in
:32:37. > :32:40.here would admit to that. But like she said, let's give him a chance.
:32:41. > :32:45.President Trump owes a lot to the state. Here in New Hampshire he
:32:46. > :32:49.scored his first primary victory, kicking off a winning streak, and
:32:50. > :32:53.giving him momentum. Also here that Mr Trump got his first taste of
:32:54. > :32:59.presidential politics, three decades ago. He was thinking about the
:33:00. > :33:08.presidency. It was in his mind. Mike, a wood word -- woodworker
:33:09. > :33:12.started a draft Trump campaign in 1987 to encourage him to run for the
:33:13. > :33:17.White House. He even persuaded Mr Trump to make a speech in New
:33:18. > :33:21.Hampshire, where he ruled out a bit. It was Mr Trump's antiestablishment
:33:22. > :33:27.stance that appealed to Mike then, and still does now. I think the
:33:28. > :33:34.thing I found most attractive was that I had experience from 1987. I
:33:35. > :33:39.found that he didn't change. He's the same guy. He has waited their
:33:40. > :33:43.history to come around for his moment. It's an amazing display of
:33:44. > :33:49.leadership. It took me 30 years but I finally got what I wanted in 1987.
:33:50. > :33:52.So did Donald Trump. He lost the state of New Hampshire by a narrow
:33:53. > :33:59.margin in the general election, but he won big prize, in a journey that
:34:00. > :34:04.started here, in more ways than one. New Hampshire, I want to thank you.
:34:05. > :34:10.We love you. You started it. Remember, you started it.
:34:11. > :34:23.They are pretty savvy voters! Year ago today you were in Manchester New
:34:24. > :34:27.Hampshire. Be honest, he was top of the polls, he wins the primary, did
:34:28. > :34:33.you think it was going to get all the way? No. I can remember very
:34:34. > :34:37.clearly thinking that he had had this victory in New Hampshire. It
:34:38. > :34:41.was an absolutely freezing night. New Hampshire primary night is
:34:42. > :34:46.rarely cold. It didn't seem possible then that a businessman who had
:34:47. > :34:49.never run for political office, who wasn't Billy seen by the Republican
:34:50. > :34:53.party as a Republican, was going to go on to win the nomination, let
:34:54. > :34:58.alone to win the presidency. If you'd asked me then I would have
:34:59. > :35:03.said the chances of it happening just didn't seem there. But there
:35:04. > :35:09.were clues. The Bernie Sanders vote, as well. Right. That was the canary
:35:10. > :35:13.in the coal mine. If we had listened to the wise voters of New Hampshire,
:35:14. > :35:17.we would have all got the election right. They saw the populist wave
:35:18. > :35:23.more than anybody else. Donald Trump one and Bernie Sanders one 60-38
:35:24. > :35:28.against Hillary Clinton. Clearly there was something about that live
:35:29. > :35:33.free or die state, that wanted a different kind of politician. We
:35:34. > :35:36.should have focused on the New Hampshire result and not cover the
:35:37. > :35:38.rest of the campaign, then we'd have known what was going to happen!
:35:39. > :35:44.Let's move on. Every now and then, the team
:35:45. > :35:47.here on 100 Days will be checking in with American voters to see
:35:48. > :35:50.what they're making of Donald And today, we're
:35:51. > :35:52.heading to the Midwest. The state of Wisconsin
:35:53. > :35:55.is an interesting case study, because not only did Mr Trump win
:35:56. > :35:57.it, but he wrestled it back from the Democrats,
:35:58. > :35:59.as previously blue states across American's rust belt
:36:00. > :36:06.turned Republican red. Let's speak to Van Mobley,
:36:07. > :36:08.president of the village of Thiensville in Wisconsin,
:36:09. > :36:22.Mr Mobley voted for Mr Trump You voted for Mr Trump, I think.
:36:23. > :36:32.Were you surprised that he got all the way to the White House? Know I
:36:33. > :36:36.wasn't. I think that when you said earlier in the show, you hit the
:36:37. > :36:39.nail on the head. The two issues that propelled Donald Trump and
:36:40. > :36:43.Bernie Sanders, the American people have lost confidence in the trade
:36:44. > :36:47.deals that have been negotiated and lost interest in an interventionist
:36:48. > :36:55.foreign policy. It's a winning coalition. What do you think of what
:36:56. > :37:00.he's done so far? I've been generally pleased. I think he ran
:37:01. > :37:05.his campaign here, from the outside in. Appealed to the outsiders then
:37:06. > :37:09.went to the inside. He is doing his foreign policy in reverse, shoring
:37:10. > :37:14.up and reassuring our closest allies, which in my view are Japan
:37:15. > :37:19.and Great Britain. And then of course the Canadians and the
:37:20. > :37:23.Mexicans. I think he's doing a good job and I think those relationships
:37:24. > :37:27.are going to hold and be strengthened. Tell me about
:37:28. > :37:31.Wisconsin. We were chatting on the phone earlier, talking about the
:37:32. > :37:33.Democrats who met yesterday. They've had their annual meeting in
:37:34. > :37:37.Baltimore. They were saying when they go out onto the doorstep, a lot
:37:38. > :37:42.of their policies resonate quite well with voters. Why did they fail
:37:43. > :37:48.in a place like Wisconsin which beforehand looked as if it would
:37:49. > :37:52.have gone Democrat? I think they have their priorities misplaced. I
:37:53. > :37:55.think that Hillary Clinton as a candidate was unbelievable on some
:37:56. > :38:00.core issues. In the sense that people didn't trust she was going to
:38:01. > :38:07.do what she said. In particular they viewed her as a liberal
:38:08. > :38:12.interventionist and a free trader. I was just wondering what you made of
:38:13. > :38:16.some of the criticisms of Donald Trump's first three weeks in office?
:38:17. > :38:21.There has been talk about a sense of chaos in the White House. Some of
:38:22. > :38:26.the executive orders he has then had to change. Some criticism of his
:38:27. > :38:30.style and tweets. Things we have spoken about during the course of
:38:31. > :38:35.the programme. They things that concern you about the President, or
:38:36. > :38:40.not? They don't concern me as much as they concern some other people. I
:38:41. > :38:44.don't deny that other people seem to act concerned but they don't concern
:38:45. > :38:50.me very much. I think that's part of his style. He is a show man, in
:38:51. > :38:53.addition to being an executive. I think the press would be well served
:38:54. > :38:57.if they began to pay a little bit more attention to some of his
:38:58. > :39:02.Cabinet nominees who have become Cabinet secretaries. I think he will
:39:03. > :39:05.probably run the government the way he did his corporation, there will
:39:06. > :39:08.be a show at the centre but then you've got confident executives on
:39:09. > :39:16.the outskirts executing his policies. There are some wonderful
:39:17. > :39:21.pics. I liked Jeff Sessions as well. How will you judge success for Mr
:39:22. > :39:24.Trump? At the end of four years, what are you going to look forward
:39:25. > :39:29.to see if he's delivered on his promises and done a good job? I
:39:30. > :39:34.think one of the things we would like to see in Wisconsin is stronger
:39:35. > :39:38.economic growth. I know that, I think this is why they need to look
:39:39. > :39:41.at some of these deals again. Great Britain doesn't have as good growth
:39:42. > :39:50.as it did in the past. The United States has stuck below two. Those
:39:51. > :39:53.deals in the past, if they were working, the United States and its
:39:54. > :39:57.major allies would be having better economic growth. I do believe he's
:39:58. > :40:03.going to be successful in that. I also think the foreign policy
:40:04. > :40:05.pursued in the United States since the ridge beginning in the Clinton
:40:06. > :40:12.administration and going through Bush and Obama, which is a bit
:40:13. > :40:16.liberal interventionist, they didn't really do a good job and it hasn't
:40:17. > :40:20.been successful. I think a more realistic approach will be
:40:21. > :40:24.considerably more successful. I think we will see economic success,
:40:25. > :40:31.foreign policy success, and that's the key to having a good presidency.
:40:32. > :40:34.I think he could be a great President, perhaps. We would like to
:40:35. > :40:36.check back in with you and see whether you are happy with what Mr
:40:37. > :40:40.Trump is doing. He's just at the start
:40:41. > :40:43.of his term in office, but thanks to his unique style,
:40:44. > :40:45.Donald Trump is already well on course to be one
:40:46. > :40:48.of the most-quoted Presidents. But could the language he uses be
:40:49. > :40:50.influencing the way politicians You are fake news. Fake news. Fake
:40:51. > :41:16.news. Fake news. I'm really surprised the BBC is
:41:17. > :41:21.reporting fake news. Yet again what we get from Labour are alternative
:41:22. > :41:33.facts. That sounded like one of Mr Donald Trump's alternative facts. It
:41:34. > :41:36.is all fake news. It's phoney stuff. So interesting, the way that
:41:37. > :41:41.language is shaping this presidency. It seems even on the question of
:41:42. > :41:48.language, Americans and other people around the world are divided,
:41:49. > :41:52.Christian. If we had played Van, would he have liked what he had from
:41:53. > :41:55.Donald Trump, and if we played that clip to people who didn't like
:41:56. > :42:00.Donald Trump, they would have rolled their eyes and said it didn't sound
:42:01. > :42:03.presidential. People are hearing two very different things. We've got to
:42:04. > :42:06.keep our eye on the people in the middle who see things very
:42:07. > :42:11.differently to the two coasts of the US. The interesting thing about that
:42:12. > :42:16.clip, Jeremy Corbyn was talking on a breakfast programme today and
:42:17. > :42:20.started throwing back. News, I'm surprised the BBC is reporting full
:42:21. > :42:29.sneeze. The reality is they are now mixing apples news with a -- mixing
:42:30. > :42:36.up "False news" with inconvenient news. Fake news has been made up to
:42:37. > :42:43.put people off the scent... It's not asking a politician a question they
:42:44. > :42:45.don't like. The President here suggesting bad polls must be fake as
